ALDI SPANAKOPITA ‘BEST-KEPT SECRET’

The bao buns aren’t the only Aldi specialty food to have a cult following.

Last year a $7 spanakopita was labelled the supermarket’s “best-kept secret” by devotees of the savoury snack.

Sydney foodie @mernasfoodfomo shared why she loves the Aldi buy in a TikTok video that went viral, explaining that she will “usually hoard boxes” of the product.

“I’m going to share a little secret with you,” Merna explains in the video. “It’s this spanakopita from Aldi and it’s made in Greece.

“Honestly this is Aldi’s best kept secret, I usually hoard boxes of this,” she said, before sharing the “most satisfying shots” of the cooked product.

It seems plenty of people agreed with Merna, with the video racking up more than 35,000 views from fans of the product, who jokingly chastised the TikTok user for giving away their “secret”.
